ABOUT ZEITGEIST

Willie Geist has maintained since 1996 that the Internet, like the automobile and the television before it, is a fad. He gets his information from microfiche at the public library and communicates with friends through the good old-fashioned United States Postal Service, thank you very much.

So then why is he blogging? Two words: community service. After an ugly incident at his weekly Sudoku game, Willie was sentenced to speak to young people about anger management. He heard that "young people" looked at the Internet, so the blog became his punishment. It's Willie's way of giving back.

In Zeitgeist, you'll find the kind of expert analysis of news and pop culture that has made Willie one of the most beloved figures in American life today (you can look it up). You'll also get raw, behind-the-scenes footage from MSNBC. You'll even get to talk back to Willie. So give the blog a try and catch the Internet fad before it's gone for good.

I thought the Harry Potter books were children's books. I seen now that they have a hidden agenda and were deceptive. It seems that we are determined to contaminate children's minds. They thought they were reading a fantasy/adventure book but now it has changed into sexuality. As a parent, I would like to present Good to my children--not hidden agendas. Haven't we got enough problems with the Internet and pedaphiles.
Who cares if he is gay..has he tryed to go after any children??? Just because a person is gay doesn't mean they can't work in a normal enviroment..let the man be.
What kind of rubbish are we going to be told next? The series is supposed to be finished. Who cares anyway, there was not even representation of Dumbledore's penchants in the films to shock anyone.

I have enjoyed all of J. K. Rowlings' books (I read the last one at age 64), as well as the movies that have sprung from them.  
While I deeply mourn Richard Harris' death, the fact that Dumbledore needed to continue was a necessity.  
The replacement of this wonderful character needed to be made, and in my opinion, they made a good choice.
I don't care if the man is straight, gay, or in between.  He stepped into some mighty fine shoes and did an absolutely wonderful and admirable job.
Thank you Jo, for giving us some wonderful hours in reading your books and watching the movies.  Cheering for good over evil is a booster to the good feelings in your life.
Maybe they will have a spell to reverse it in the next book,maybe the spell can go something like this: abra kadabra poof-der.Comes as no surprise
